Embodied Mental Simulation and Other Mental Imagery

Learn how just even imagining an action might subconsciously influence cognitive processing!

Wednesday, April 29, 2015 - 10:00 to 11:30
Professor Krishna, will visit Department of Marketing, CBS and present her work on embodied mental simulation. The theory of grounded cognition holds that our bodily states, actions influence generate our cognitive activity and processing.

Even imagining an action might subconsciously influence cognitive processing which is the focus of this talk.
